Vain Glory vs. Pride: The blurred distinctions

Vain Glory and Pride, though distinct, blur together in their manifestations. Vain Glory, highlighted by St. John Cassian, encompasses praise from others regarding external or internal abilities. Conversely, Pride fixates on self-praise, diverging from external influences. However, the two intertwine, making it challenging to segregate them outright.
